Not what you think it should pay.
If you’re an Israeli job seeker wondering about U.S. salary benchmark backed by data, not what someone told you on Linkedin, you’re in the right place.
In recent months, I’ve been working on a new Smart Assistant. Not for resumes. Not for rewriting LinkedIn bios. But for answering one of the most sensitive, strategic, and often misunderstood questions in the American job market:
How much should this job actually pay in the USA high-tech and startup ecosystem?
Whether you’re an Israeli candidate preparing for a move to the U.S., or a startup founder looking to hire your first employee in North America – this question is where most conversations go sideways.
So, I built a tool that brings it back to earth. With numbers. And sources. And no fluff.
🌟 What the Smart Salary Assistant Does
You plug in:
- The job title (in English)
- The U.S. city/state (NY, CA, Boston, NJ, Florida, Texas, Atlanta, Chicago) or “Remote”
- Type and stage of the company (e.g., Seed or Series A SaaS startup, public software company)
- Optional: a job description or resume for added precision
It gives you:
- 💵 A realistic salary range in U.S. dollars for tech, fintech, cyber security, adtech, B2B and other domains.
- 📊 Breakdowns by level: manager, director, VP
- ⚖️ Comparisons across geographies (e.g., NYC vs. Miami vs. Remote)
- 🔍 Insight on market demand, hiring difficulty, and sourcing challenges
- 📎 Examples of similar job listings at comparable companies in the USA
Unlike generic salary websites, this tool doesn’t spit out a single vague number. It explains why the range is what it is.
🤝 Who Is It For?
Israeli candidates looking to:
- Understand what to ask for in the USA job market
- Avoid awkward negotiation moments
- Present themselves more strategically in interviews and resumes
Israeli startup founders / HR / recruiters / talent acquisition leads who need to:
- Benchmark realistic salary offers in global markets
- Set budgets for sourcing and screening top candidates in North America
- Justify compensation packages to boards and investors
SEO / GEO professionals looking to:
- Enhance the visibility of job pages and career content in global U.S. markets
- Align salary data with search trends in Fintech, SaaS, Adtech, and Cyber Security
🚀 What Makes It Different?
This bot isn’t creative. It’s factual. It doesn’t “complete the picture” or inflate for style. It doesn’t assume seniority. It asks.
It pulls data from real, validated compensation sources like:
- Glassdoor
- Levels.fyi
- LinkedIn Salary
- AngelList
- BuiltIn NYC
- Salary.com
- ZipRecruiter
- Indeed
And when information is missing? It stops. Asks for what it needs. And won’t guess.
That’s not a bug. That’s a feature.
🔧 Use Case Examples
Candidate view: You’re a Senior Product Manager in Tel Aviv, looking to relocate to NY or California. You’re applying to a B2B SaaS fintech startup. You upload the job description, enter your target location, and specify it’s a Series B company. The assistant returns a salary range ($145K–165K), equity norms, and notes that demand for this role is high in the USA startup ecosystem.
Founder view: You’re an Israeli founder scaling into North America. You’re hiring a VP Sales in Boston or Chicago. You want to offer equity but aren’t sure what’s standard. The assistant compares compensation structures in similar companies and gives you a rational framework for recruiting and executive search.
🔍 Why This Matters
American salary expectations are structured, data-driven, and benchmarked. Unlike the Israeli job market where negotiations can feel personal or intuitive – in the U.S., numbers talk. And if your numbers are off, so is your credibility.
Using this tool helps:
- Build trust in global recruiting conversations
- Speed up sourcing and screening
- Avoid costly negotiation gaps
- Strengthen your employer brand in the USA (or personal brand in the Israeli-American talent ecosystem)
And yes – it’s also part of a broader GEO and SEO strategy: job descriptions that align with salary data perform better in search rankings and attract more serious candidates.
